Afternoon All. I have been using a number of different camera mounts over the last week or so and have updated the web site with some DIY Builds. http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/MountLaunch.php Have placed some additional scooter and different mount footage on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/user/SubSurfaceTechs Ta.

Description covering the conversion of readily available 12volt MR16 LED units to 5 ish volts - PWM Driver. http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/LEDShortMR16Project.php Ta. SubSurfaceTech

All Done. Website and Flickr updated with the Final construction pictures and write up. Just starting a pair of short bodied video lights - converting a 9 Watt MR16 bulb ( 12 volts ) to 5 volts and using a simple MCU controlled PWM driver. In actual fact the torches are finished but I have just started the website updates - will post when complete. Ta SubSurfaceTech

Whilst constructing the latest Dual Head video Lights - http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/LEDDualHeadProject.php It occurred to me that the same technology could be employed in my primary dive light which is a 35watt HID. As a primary light it is perfect, but for Video it leaves a lot to be desired - you can follow the integration here http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/HybridHiddeLProject.php The light can be run in Automatic mode - meaning the controlling MCU changes the power setting to the LED's based on the Heat Sink temperature or in manual mode where the power setting can be changed by swiping a hand across the face of the lens. A more detailed description of the control logic and how it is implemented is currently under construction and will be posted when completed. ta SubSurfaceTech

Completed the canister body which integrates a DPV / Scooter mount. Top Plate and integrated controls. Light Heads with integrated RGB Light Guides. Construction pics for all the above can be found on the Dual Head Video page - http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/L...eadProject.php and higher def pics on Flickr - https://www.flickr.com/photos/subsurfacetech/sets/ Ta SubSurfaceTech

Small update detailing the build for the Monitor & Control system of the Video Light. Construction pic's of the magnetic momentary buttons. Currently finalising the size of a rotary On / Off switch, when this is completed the drawings will be updated and available for download. Ta SubSurfaceTech

Thank you - the kind comments are appreciated. Ta SubSurfaceTech

Post the Micro light build I felt something a little smaller and more powerful would be acceptable so have embarked on a dual head cannister video light. This will necessitate a remote battery pack and wired configuration but neither of them are going to be big ... You can check progress so far - http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/LEDDualHeadProject.php Will update thread as the build continues. Ta SubSurfaceTech

Detailed Plans / Drawings uploaded and links available. Ta SubSurfaceTech

Post the build of my Micro Scooter I have just completed a pair of Micro LED Lights to complement my GoPro setup Full construction details of the MicroLights can be viewed here -http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/LEDMicroProject.php MicroLight summary - Single 3.7 volt 900mA Li-Ion cell 6 watt LED 240 Lumens 6000k Burn time ~ 2Hrs 64 x 33mm 72 grams These are designed to be used in pairs as part of a video configuration and not as primary dive lights. Final tweaks to the detailed plans are just being finalised and will be available for download in the next few days, I will post an update here ... Ta SubSurfaceTech

Hi All Steve from Southampton UK with a passion for DIY dive gear - only just starting out with video, have made a couple of lights so if you would care to take a peak ? http://subsurfacetech.synergize.co/LEDMicroProject.php Ta SubSurfaceTech
